Mariners Sweep Padres Led by Raleigh's 50th Homer

The Seattle Mariners defeated the San Diego Padres in a series of competitive games, including a 4-3 victory highlighted by Eugenio Suarez's three-run homer that helped secure the win. Cal Raleigh made history by hitting his 50th home run of the season, becoming only the second player in Mariners history to reach this milestone, and contributed to a 9-6 win that clinched the inaugural Vedder Cup for Seattle. Jorge Polanco also had a strong performance with a four-RBI night, while the Mariners' bullpen and pitching staff, including Bryan Woo and Andres Munoz, played crucial roles in holding off the Padres. The Padres responded with powerful offensive efforts including Ramón Laureano's grand slam and Freddy Fermin's safety squeeze bunt in previous games, keeping the NL West race tight with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Despite strong pitching from San Diego's Yu Darvish and Dylan Cease, the Mariners' timely hitting and strategic plays allowed them to prevail in the series. The Mariners now lead the Vedder Cup series 5-1 and are positioning themselves strongly in the AL West standings.
